In his last youtube video, Jeff Cavanaugh hit on this. He believed that JG was more open to an aggressive offensive game plan when playing at home while favoring the approach of keeping it close and win it late on the road, especially against the good teams. Not sure the evidence, but it does make some sense, especially in 2019 when JG was "tutoring" a young OC and probably had more control over him than he did with Scott Linehan.

I think some of it is our old friend JG and his ultra-conservative offensive approach to road games. People commented here about it a lot last season. We saw all sorts of motion and stuff at home and everything got basic on the road.
How much that impacted things we'll see, but I'm really glad about the coaching change. This team needed it, and I'm not just talking about JG.
This. It was especially obvious last season when the offense would go into a shell on the road and do nothing that made then successful in previous weeks.
Thanks for bringing this up, I was going to mention this same thing. I attribute it to a scared, uninspired, uncreative coach who curled up into the fetal position at the first sign of adversity.
The thing that makes me sad/mad is that if we had a better staff for Romo, I have no doubt he would have gotten us to a couple of Superbowls and he would be considered a slamdunk HOF QB.
It's funny that I considered him a Jimmy disciple when we first hired him because he turned out to be the exact opposite. Jimmy would go for the throat on the road and in big games.

That statistic is misleading. Many of those losses have been when we had our 3rd string qb starting because Romo went down, not to take anything away from Dak.

I found this and I was really shocked—-our stadium has wildly been criticized by our fans by not giving us a clear advantage but the last 4 years says otherwise.
